Description

A tragic double homicide, or a hidden serial killer? Sergeant Alice Morrow is determined to solve a mystery spanning sixty years.

When Evelyn Massey is found dead in her home, it seems like an open-and-shut case: Evelyn was one hundred years old -- natural causes. But Sergeant Alice Morrow learns that traces of poison were found in Mrs. Massey's blood. Then the remains of a body some sixty years deceased are discovered in the dead woman's basement.

Two murders, decades apart. Are they connected?

In the second book in Shane Peacock's award-winning Northern Gothic Mystery series, Morrow and former NYPD homicide detective Hugh Mercer unearth stunning truths about Evelyn Massey's life and learn of other disappearances over the past sixty years. Was a serial killer quietly at work in this Ontario town? Could the murderer still be among its citizens, hidden in plain sight?
